Task

Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits

The Donald himself has turned to our class to use our knowledge of probability and expected value to create a marketable game or game show for him and all of America to enjoy. As a class we will split up into design teams of four members each (a producer, writer, materials gatherer and a marketing guru). The task is to make a challenging yet rewarding/entertaining game that is "fair" based on your knowledge of probability and expected value. If you create a game show be sure to include the expected winnings and if you make a game (i.e. board, dice or card game) be sure to use expected value to set up your game and its rules. All products will be presented in front of Donald Trump and his selection committee. Game shows should be video taped with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation that includes the rules and a description of the mathematics behind the development of the game. Board games and other games should include a prototype (it is up to the group to use any or no technology in creating the prototype) along with a PowerPoint presentation including hyperlinks and/or videos that will provide readers with a deeper understanding of the game, it's rules and the mathematics behind the development.
